The next moment, Luo Fan suddenly felt a rush of memories flow into his mind.
It was as if he had practiced the Basic Blade Technique countless times.
On the system panel, under skills, his Basic Blade Technique had now increased to 4/10 (Minor Proficiency).
He was curious about what this level of proficiency could actually do.
So he practiced the Basic Blade Technique again.
Very quickly, he noticed the difference.
This time, after performing the Basic Blade Technique, his movements were much smoother.
They felt far more natural than before.
At the same time, the time it took to complete one set of the Basic Blade Technique had also shortened.
Without hesitation, he immediately created another task:
[Task: Practice Basic Blade Technique 100 times. Reward: Basic Blade Technique Proficiency +1]
Luo Fan practiced the Basic Blade Technique 100 more times.
This time, completing 100 sets was much faster than before, his speed had improved by at least 10%.
Previously, there had been a period when Luo Fan hadn't practiced the Basic Blade Technique at all.
During those sessions, he would sometimes make mistakes or perform moves that weren't precise enough.
When that happened, the set wouldn't count and he had to start over, wasting a lot of time.
But this time, after gaining +1 proficiency, each form of the Basic Blade Technique felt as if it had been imprinted in his mind.
He also developed muscle memory.
Every strike was perfectly executed, with no mistakes at all.
Very quickly, he completed all 100 sets.
This time, it took him just over an hour.
After claiming the reward and gaining another point in Basic Blade Technique proficiency, Luo Fan once again felt that familiar sensation from before.
It felt as if he had practiced thousands of times in an unknown place.
The insights from all those practices had directly become part of his memory.
He had even developed the corresponding muscle memory.
Just as Luo Fan was about to continue practicing, he noticed that Luo Feng and Fang Xueyi had already stopped.
The two of them were resting nearby.
"Brother, are you done practicing?"
"Why did you suddenly want to practice blade techniques?"
Luo Feng looked at his older brother with curiosity.
Ever since childhood, Luo Feng had admired his older brother immensely.
In his eyes, Luo Fan seemed to know everything.
Moreover, Luo Fan trained extremely diligently.
He had started training on his own back in middle school.
After all, he knew what kind of world this was.
It was only later that he realized he truly lacked talent, so he stopped and spent his time typing novels instead.
This also allowed him to provide a better environment for the Luo family, moving them out of the tube-style apartment.
Luo Feng, now stronger than his counterpart in the original story, had been somewhat influenced by Luo Fan and trained even more diligently.
"I've been sitting and typing all day; it's not good for me, so I came to train a bit," Luo Fan said, smiling at Luo Feng.
"Maybe one day I'll even become a martial artist."
Just then, Luo Fan suddenly thought of something and tentatively spoke in his mind:
"Spar with Luo Feng in Basic Blade Technique."
[Task successfully established.]
[Task: Spar once with Luo Feng in Basic Blade Technique. Reward: Basic Blade Technique Proficiency +1, Luck +1, Comprehension +1]
A gleam of joy immediately flashed in Luo Fan's eyes.
This reward was way too good.
No wonder he was the protagonist!
Fang Xueyi, as a martial artist, had very sharp observation skills.
She immediately noticed the excitement in her husband's eyes.
"What's wrong? Did you think of a great idea?"
At this moment, she still thought Luo Fan had come up with a concept for a novel, though she didn't know that none of those novels were actually his own ideas.
Luo Fan realized that Fang Xueyi had noticed his joy, so he simply said,
"No, I just realized my punching power seems to have increased a lot these past few days."
Fang Xueyi was taken aback for a moment.
Then she pointed to the punching power tester beside them and said,
"Really? Come on, let's test it."
Luo Fan didn't refuse; after all, they would find out soon enough anyway.
Walking up to the punching power tester, Luo Fan took a deep breath.
The next moment, he threw a punch.
Bang!
399 kg —
Fang Xueyi's pupils immediately contracted at the number.
As Luo Fan's wife, she was well aware of his current physical condition.
Before her recent trip to the wilderness area, Luo Fan's punching power had definitely not exceeded 350 kg.
As a martial artist approaching the rank of warlord, she could tell.
After all, they lived together daily, and even in special situations, she could sense Luo Fan's strength.
But now, after just over half a month while she was in the wilderness, Luo Fan's power had increased by at least 50 kg!
Luo Feng, on the other hand, didn't know the specifics of Luo Fan's condition, so he wasn't as shocked.
"Husband, try a few more punches," Fang Xueyi said, her expression serious.
There was still a hint of disbelief and a touch of joy in her eyes.
Luo Fan didn't refuse and threw a few more punches.
398 kg —
401 kg —
400 kg —
"Huu—"
"Husband, have you been eating anything special recently?"
Fang Xueyi asked Luo Fan seriously.
"I've been eating the same as before," he replied.
"I haven't eaten anything different lately."
Luo Feng immediately sensed something was off.
"Sis, how much strength did my brother have before?"
Fang Xueyi didn't answer right away but looked at Luo Fan instead.
"I previously had just over 300 kg of strength. I hadn't trained for a long time," Luo Fan admitted truthfully.
After all, the two people present were the closest to him, and he knew them very well.
One was his wife, despite now being a martial artist about to become a warlord, they were still as loving as ever.
And Luo Feng needed no introduction.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's mouth dropped open, his expression one of utter disbelief.
Fang Xueyi's eyes also flashed with a hint of shock.
"Brother, did something happen like in your novel with Xiao Yan, where you met a grandmaster alchemist?"
Luo Feng stammered as he spoke.
Luo Fan glanced at him and replied,
"I don't know. I've just been training these past few days."
"Maybe the strength I had before is being reactivated through this training?"
The two couldn't figure out the exact reason, so they attributed it to that.
Previously, Luo Fan's strength had also exceeded 450 kg,
but it never reached 500 kg, the standard for a mid-level student, which was why he had abandoned martial training.
"By the way, Feng, come spar with me in Basic Blade Technique. I want to see whether my technique still has issues or not."
Saying this, Luo Fan picked up a training blade and looked at Luo Feng.
"No problem!"
Luo Feng didn't hesitate to agree to his older brother's request.
He picked up his own training blade from the rack and stood in front of Luo Fan.
"Feng, remember to restrain your strength. Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand even one strike."
"Got it, brother. Be careful. I'm starting now."
After Luo Fan nodded to indicate he was ready,
Luo Feng suddenly took a step forward and swung his blade toward Luo Fan.
